The effects of exercise on brain function are well-known anecdotally, but there appears to be a myth that only cardiovascular exercise will "get the blood pumping" through the brain to increase brain function in a superior way to other forms of exercise.
Not true, says a new study.
The executive functioning effects of 20 minutes of Hatha yoga were found to be superior to 20 minutes of walking or running on a treadmill, according to a recent study by kinesiologist Neha Goethe and her colleagues.
Congratulations to the researchers, and bravo to all of you yogis and yoginis.
Please see the Science Daily article.
Have a great weekend!
